The ratio of atoms is determined by the chemical formula of a compound. This formula indicates the type and number of atoms present in a molecule. The subscripts in a chemical formula provide the ratio of each type of atom in the compound.
That ratio is known as the isotopic composition of the element. It tells you the proportion of the specific isotope compared to all isotopes of that element in the mixture. This ratio is important in various applications, such as radiometric dating and isotopic analysis in chemistry and physics.
This ratio is different for each compound; for the oxide P4O10 the ratio is 2/5.
2:1 ratio. There would be eight atoms of hydrogen and four atoms of oxygen.
In a molecule of ammonia (NH3), which forms when nitrogen and hydrogen combine, the ratio of hydrogen atoms to nitrogen atoms is 3:1.
Glucose is C6H12O6 and thus the mole ratio is 6 moles of carbon to 6 moles of Hydrogen Molecules (12 moles of Hydrogen atoms) and 3 moles of oxygen molecules (6 moles of oxygen atoms)
